How long gonna they go until Disney get sick of these hacks' mess up?

Bendis has been wanna be kicked from Marvel for a while
>>
>>89596820
I don't think Disney gives a single fuck about whether comics are successful or not.

Only license they care about is Star Wars and they've been regularly getting 85-100k sales. I think first issue of Doctor Aphra was like in top 10, hope it'll live long enough for like 20 issues, I like her.

The only thing good coming out of Marvel comics is probably Star Wars. everything else is just pandering to fucking something. It's like if you're getting people from Deviantart or fanfiction to do the comics.

I think it's odd that we blame the MCU when if anything MCU synergy is relatively low.

I mean, Sam Wilson isn't Captain America in the movies. Thor isn't a woman in the movies. Tony Stark isn't a ghost mentoring a Riri in the movies.

Remember as a kid you'd see a movie and see the trading cards, or a cartoon spin off or a comic book and you'd be like "oh hell yea more of THE THING I LIKE!" The tie-in impulse buy bullshit.

I know tons of movies had em, juarassic park, aliens, predator, jumanji, ace ventura, independence day and so on and so on.

That's marvel now. The comics are the tie-in bullshit. The movies/TV show is their main universe, everything else is supplementary stuff.

PC garbage like turning old fan favorites into grab bags of unnecessary diversity rather than actually trying to come up with new characters, then characterizing people complaining that their favorite characters are being cast aside in favor of obvious diversity virtue signaling as racist Luddites.

>>89597639
By the time Infinity War releases it will have been six years since the initial introduction of Thanos.

So the films have been building toward a single big event in the time that the comics have gone through about a half dozen.

This is kind what I've been feeling for a while now. Especially with GOTG comics.

But the MCU still needs comics to draw their stories from.
>>
>>89597641
The movies don't even advertise the comics, though. Not even a little tagline during the credits saying "Did you know you can read more adventures of these characters right now at your local bookstore?" I'm sure they'd at least get a few kids who'd ask mom and dad to swing by and pick something up after they left the theater.

NO SERIOUSLY, where were these people last decade? Cause that shit was GRIM!
>>
>>89597718

because its all inverted and new, its kind of a new thing to have a series of films like this. It will not be long before they do a more original story in film and adapt it to a comic. We alrady have Caulson in the comics now.

>>89597722

Did LOTR or Harry potter do this?
>>
>>89597782
>It will not be long before they do a more original story in film and adapt it to a comic
And when that happens, the MCU will be even worse than ever.
>>
>>89597782
>Did LOTR or Harry potter do this?
No, because those books are much more famous than capes.
>>
>>89597782
I'd say the difference is that LotR or the HP series aren't perpetually dependent upon keeping up interest. If everyone stopped buying those books tomorrow the Tolkien and Rowling estates can just sit on their fat piles of money. Marvel and DC have to keep selling today, tomorrow, forever.
>>
>>89597782
>>89597807
I think that's already happening with the Defenders. We never had a book that was just Luke, Jones, DD and Iron Fist, and their villain is Sygorney Weaver. And from the looks of things, she is an OC or a very obscure character, which means Bendis will use her for his Defenders run and treat her like a big deal.

>>89597692

Not really. Movies are too big of an investment, and there's waaaay too much money on the line to be lost if the movie fails, so the movies will never become a clusterfuck of continuity the way comics are because the producers will always jump in and try to make every movie as accessible to the wide population as possible.

There's a reason why none of the Netflix characters appear in movies when if this was comic they'd have corssovers with them every month.

Harry Potter has definitely had more of a cultural impact. I mean, as much as we toot the comic book horn, the most memorable thing about the MCU is the spin around the Avengers.
>>
>>89597906
Thing is though, the MCU is pushing for 3 movies and 3 Netflix shows a year, with even more TV shows. Agents of SHIELD btw is current 0.6 in ratings.

I don't think the MCU will ever get that bomb that flops in the box office and everyone agrees is completely terrible. Their whole doctrine is built to avoid this.

I do however think that they'll hit a steady decline that'll go steeper and steeper unless they start changing formulas. Even the normie casuals are starting to get tired and point out the flaws in the movies.

What's funny is that one of the big reasons the Avengers was such a success was that it merged 5 films. There was a special spark to that. Now it's kind of more predictable when we see these heroes team up. Infinity Wars has the GOTG and Avengers meeting that would be a boost, but having the Defenders meet the Avengers would be another landmark that would feel special again. Let's be honest, Marvel is running out of those special things to do, unless they do a Spider-Verse film.
>>89598165
I think Spider-Man Homecoming has the potential to be that bomb. All around the internet, people are hyping up that film beyond belief. Some Youtube channels are more hyped for Spider-Man's film than the Infinity Wars films,and what we're getting is High School shenanigans with almost all of the Spider-Man cast changed (I'm not talking about race), and a reliance on RDJ to support the film. If there is a film I think would be an MCU bomb, it's Homecoming because the hype people have for that film is unreal.
>>
>>89598197
...well HP is bigger than the X-Men, Hulk and Archie. Probably Walking Dead now that the show is starting to fizzle out.
>>
>>89597977

they dont care about sales on *any* comics

this isn't a profitable industry. but it is a convenient Research & Development department that can pay comic writers and artists peanuts, take their ideas that stick to the big screen and make billions.

they'll continue to let it limp along, they don't want comics to lose them money but ultimately i think they'd accept moving 5k units of comics if it leads to blockbuster movie sales. one step backwards, 600 million steps forward, yeah they'll take that deal
>>
>>89598276

yea but combined. HP vs Comic books. Thats every comic book vs HP, not each one individually. The comic book industry and the industries spun off and the content spun off has all had a much larger impact on society as a whole in the last 100 years than HP has by far. It's not comparable.

Remember Wallflower?
X-Men Teen girl who was shot in the head on the front lawn of the X-Mansion by a sniper?
Well, Warren Ellis thought fans who thought that was too depressing and morbid decided to one up her death by having a villain take her corpse, and fit an entire sentinel into it, leading to a sequence where Emma Frost sees her in a crowd, follows her, and then Wallflower's corpse explodes apart into that monstrosity. All because Warren Ellis thought comic readers were getting soft.

That's only the doubtful trolls. The key was that people underestimated films like Ant-Man and GOTG. They all thought they would be bad, but were surprised by how fun they are.

The problem with Spider-Man Homecoming is the opposite. People are waaaaay too excited for this film.
https://youtu.be/uU-HXF44s1Q?t=3m8s
People think this will be the biggest grossing film of the year and top GOTG 2 and all of that, but the thing is, you look at the trailer, and the film is presenting itself as something really simplistic. Peter Parker has to trudge though High School problems, has a goofy fat friend to bounce thoughts off of, and his villain can be stopped by the Avengers at any time, but Peter is doing it himself to prove his worth to the Avengers.

None of that will live up to the hype expectations. GOTG and Ant-Man people thought would tank and were proven wrong, where as people have their hopes way too high for Spider-Man.
>>
>>89598367
I meant more the stuff they can do visually and pacing wise vs network tv being wrapped around 3 commercial breaks and ratings and sfx budgets getting burned through in 2 episodes because they need to draw a big audience at the start and mid season openers...

Which villain did that?
>>
>>89598402
If Avengers just came out of the gate, nobody would have cared. People would have gone, Hulk and 5 other heroes, and paid it not much interest. The reason why it nailed it was that it took Iron Man that worked so well, and built upon it, creating 3 other films to tie together. The fact that it was never done before made it work.
>>
>>89598485
so speculation on your part?

the Mouse will care if a division of it isn't profitable, and Marvel Comcis is separate from Marvel Studios.

They're not exactly big sellers nowadays, are they?

>>89599656
The problem is that the good books don't sell so they're all getting cancelled.

I was sad to find that Carnage ended at 16 issues, i felt Squadron Supreme and Hyperion should have lasted longer than they should have, but USAVENGERS, Spider-Man and Deadpool, Spider-Man RYV, Ultimates, AN Wolverine, Old Man Logan, all enjoyable. I guess I just don't get upset with Marvel for books like Champions, Hellcat and Civil War because I'm smart enough to chose to ignore said books. Honestly, out of all of the Marvel titles I'm following only two actually tied into that event, so again, it didn't bother me, and I'm smart enough to stay the duck away from anything with Bendis' name on it.

But here on /co/ all we seem to do is complain about things we don't like rather than talk about tings that we do like.

I have no idea why Marvel does this to itself. Is there a compelling reason WHY this company fucks over long-time readers with their shitty short-sighted tactics?

I read Marvel back in 2000 ever since I got my hands on Ultimate Spider-Man. And now the Ultimate Universe has been killed because nobody knows what to do with it after Loeb nuked it.

Shit like this is why I switched to manga and independent comics.

Good, the ultimate universe was a sea of absolute shit that had a few sparkly gems floating in it.

I think it's just company wars bullshit.

>too many events
That's not the way Marvel is screwing readers, that's the way readers are screwing Marvel.
The only reason there are too many events is that there are too many retards to buy them.

To me, Ultimate Marvel has a special place because it was my 1st comic book universe. I was 9 when USM debuted and I loved it. That universe had so much potential, but instead they just treated it as a tweaked version of 616 and as a testing ground for stuff they would later use in mainstream Marvel.

I would have buy Extraordinary X-Men if it was a book about those guys' adventures in the future.
>>
>>89599793
Oh ya I have been meaning to read Ultimates. Anything I need to know before getting into the current run? Haven't read any ultimate titles post Secret Wars.

Ah, if it was your first then I can understand, USM was the first series in started collecting (along with Reed's Ms Marvel run), and I was ducking furious by how badly they ducked everything up, Osborn was now a Hulk with firepowers, MJ was Peter's first love, Venom was created by Peter and Eddies dad, Carnage is made from Peters blood and becomes Gwen, and the list just goes on and on,
>>89599979
Extraordinary should have been about the new kids and Magik, they were the only reason why I followed that book.
>>89599984
The art is fucking amazing, but while you are reading it also read the Contest of Champions comic that they made post SW, it has a small crossover with the Ultimates which was pretty fun

All that stuff you mentioned works fine in an alternate continuity. I had little to no exposure to 616 Marvel. The only thing I knew at the time was the FOX Spider-Man, the FOX X-Men, the 90's Iron Man, and the 90's Hulk.

What USM did best was introduce a Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the 21st century. And I still love that story where Peter and Wolverine swapped bodies. That shit was hilarious.

>>89600185
I liked that recently in the All New Wolverine annul they did a call back to that issue by having Spider-Gwen and X-23 swap bodies.

I don't really think so. I think they've established the formula sufficiently that people basically know who the recurring characters are and get the shared universe concept and that's enough to get through any of them - I don't think most people have a problem with "oh, I didn't get that, probably from one of the movies I didn't see" so long as they're not too continuity heavy (they're not)

>I think that anon was trying to say that MCU make so much money than unless the movie devision start to fail Marvel is never going really lose money


Well he's fucking dumb because they split Marvel Studios from Marvel Comics. I mean for fuckssake they made an all new logo acknowledging the films and not the comics, like the old logo used to.

>they dont care about sales on *any* comics

Isn't this what people said about WB and DC back in the 00's? I'm pretty fucking sure the New 52 was done because of lagging sales.
